2020 - namb.net€¦ · pray for the missionaries and chaplains in this calendar, you can help bear...

Welcome to the 2020 North American Mission Board Prayer Calendar.

One thing you will never hear a missionary say is, “Pray for me less.” Prayer is an essential element to ministry effectiveness. As the Holy Spirit empowers missionaries, they need your prayers. You can support your missionaries by praying for their relationships with God, their families and their ministries. As you pray for the missionaries and chaplains in this calendar, you can help bear their burdens and unite in their celebrations as they see God move in remarkable ways. Thank you for your partnership in reaching North America with the gospel. We pray that 2020 will be a blessed year in your life and for your church. God bless you.

SOUTHDespite a legacy of evangelical fervor in the South, new generations and new immigrant populations will make the need for new, contextual, gospel-centered churches—even in the Bible Belt—forever present.

Pray for our planters and families on the front lines. The spiritual darkness in Send Cities like New Orleans can steal your joy in an instant.

for missionaries who are reaching immigrant and refugee populations that tend to be wary of Christian faith. Pray for boldness and wisdom both for our missionaries and those who hear the gospel.

We don’t often think about North America as a place where a missionary would need to worry about security concerns. Several of our missionaries, though, reach populations from nations where there are restrictions on religious freedom.

CANADAMost of Canada could be described as either post-Christian or secular. Although the number of evangelicals across the country is growing, there is much work still to be done so that every person has the opportunity to hear and respond to the good news of Christ. Pray for church planters to be discovered in Canada’s major cities to plant where they live—especially Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton. Pray for the Lord to raise up aboriginal Canadians who will plant First Nations churches across Canada.

The Lottie Moon Christmas Offering® for International Missions supports the many International Mission Board missionaries serving around the globe by providing the resources they need to give help and hope to a lost world. Pray that Southern Baptists would give generously and sacrificially to spread the good news of Jesus this Christmas.

WESTVast spiritual lostness describes just about the whole western region. Almost nine out of 10 residents in the West have no relationship with Christ. Pray for the urban Send City areas of the West. Pray for the lost in the very religious areas like Salt Lake City. When you are in a secular place, it is easy to see the need for the gospel, but when religion is all around, lostness is well camouflaged. Pray for the more rural areas like Hawaii—paradise needs partners, too.

for our ministry as a family to the men and women who serve our country in the military. Pray we would have conviction and courage to be witnesses of our Savior in a culture that needs truth.
